Bio

Iris has worked with hundreds of leaders, professionals, and entrepreneurs to level up in their careers, in organizations ranging from start-up to Fortune 500, and everything in between.

She’s helped many people who were lost and burnt out get clear on what work will bring them energy, and transition into roles where they can thrive. She’s also helped hundreds of managers navigate tough dynamics and show up as the leader that their team needs, and has helped many new managers build their capabilities and confidence in their role.

Over the years she’s found there are many ways we limit ourselves, but that it is also very possible to shift our perspective to see all of the possibilities, and have the clarity to make the right choice.

In her sessions, she creates a safe and objective environment for you to get clear on your situation and next steps. She’ll hold you accountable and challenge you, and will always support you and help you stay connected to your purpose and talent.

Working with her starts with getting clear on your goals, and assessing where you are in terms of strengths, values, and opportunities for growth. From there you’ll create a practical plan to overcome challenges and get results.

Her role is to be an objective confidante, a trusted advisor, and at the end of the day, to help you feel and be your best. Schedule a session with her if you’re ready to reach new heights, make lasting changes, and build a career you’ll fall in love with.

FAQ
Describe the process you use to help clients move forward with their lives.

I help my clients move forward with their lives by partnering with them first to understand their core values, and then to establish clear goals that are meaningful and aligned to those values. From there we work on developing habits that will support the achievement of those goals, working to unlearn unhelpful habits in terms of thinking and behaving, and then integrating more helpful habits, using the neuroscience of sustainable habit development. Throughout the process, I help my clients organize their thinking and turn thoughts into actions, and provide a supportive, empathetic, and objective space to process issues and explore their dreams. I always aim to help my clients build self-awareness and remember their agency in their lives, and support them to clarify their options and make choices and take actions that are best aligned with their goals and values.

Describe your coaching style.

Warmth and empathy are core to my communication style. I strive to balance providing validation, and supportively challenging my clients as appropriate, and will help you identify patterns that allow problems to be solved at their root.

Describe your experience working with experienced managers

I’ve worked with experienced managers who are seeking to improve their skills in motivating and aligning their teams, driving their team’s performance and results, and becoming more influential and effective with managing up and cross-functionally to make an impact in their organizations and build up a track record of results.

Describe your experience working with individual contributors or others, not in people manager roles.

I’ve coached many individual contributors and professionals in non-manager roles across the span of careers, from those within their first few years of graduating college to those who have been in their field for decades. Regardless of the client’s experience level, I find that clarity on needs and preferences is always critical in setting a path for growth. While some will have a desire to move into a people management role, those who do not have that interest have an equal need to keep learning and growing. Setting clear goals for development and actionable plans to achieve them is always core to the coaching relationship, as is growing skills for communication, interpersonal relationships, productivity, and prioritization.
